Stillearly Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Sidney Poitier has died, aged 94. The Hollywood star was known for films including Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, In the Heat of the Night and Lilies of the Field, for which he became the first Black man to win a Best Actor Oscar. The news was announced by Minister of Foreign Affairs Fred Mitchell, prompting tributes. Bahamian-American star Poitier was automatically granted US citizenship after being unexpectedly born in Miami while his parents were visiting. He grew up in the Bahamas but moved to American when he was 15, scoring his first lead film role in 1955’s Blackboard Jungle. His first brush with award nominations came with The Defiant Ones (1958), which saw him nominated for Best Actor alongside co-star Tony Curtis. Six years later, he historically won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Lilies of the Field. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground breaking in bringing black actors into major serious roles, rather than the more musical type film parts they usually got. RIP 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite actors of all time, never get tired of watching In the Heat of the Night and To Sir with Love, I still love the theme song to that film sang by Lulu.

RIP Just got the alert on my phone, wasn’t really a fan either but damn……He made a few appearances as himself on Entourage years ago, they portrayed him as a real hard partier with lots of ladies. He was the butt of lots of jokes, but whatever, the man was famous and made his dollars. 65 is way too young 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
